In this episode of Algebra Applications, students explore the dramatic events of 2008 related to the mortgage crisis. Brought about principally through mortgage defaults, the effect on the overall economy was severe.

In this introductory segment students learn about the mortage crisis of 2008. In the process they get a brief introduction to what a mortgage is.

The time value of money is at the basis of all loans. Students learn about the key factors that determine monthly mortgage payments and use the TI-Nspire to create an amortization table.

Having learned the general features of a mortgage, students learn the specifics of a subprime mortgage. With this comes the notion of a credit score, and with credit scores come the probabilities for a loan default.

Another factor in the mortgage crisis was the use of adjustable rate mortgages.

What are the two meanings of statistics? What does it really mean that an event has a 50% probability of occurring? Why are data analysis and probability always taught together? Written and hosted by internationally acclaimed math educator Dr.

In this Investigation we explore uncertainty and randomness. This video is Segment 1 of a 4 segment series related to Data Analysis and Probability. Segments 1 and 2 are grouped together.

In this Investigation we look at real-world data involving endangered wolf populations. This video is Segment 3 of a 4 segment series related to Data Analysis and Probability. Segments 3 and 4 are grouped together.

In this TI Nspire tutorial, the Spreadsheet and Statistics windows are used to create a histogram. This video supports the TI-Nspire Clickpad and Touchpad. This Mini-Tutorial Video includes a worksheet. .

In this TI Nspire tutorial, the Spreadsheet and Calculator windows are used to find the mean of a data list. This video supports the TI-Nspire Clickpad and Touchpad. This Mini-Tutorial Video includes a worksheet. .

In this video tutorial students learn how to calculate the mean when all of the data items are positive numbers. Includes three real-world examples.

In this video tutorial students learn how to calculate the mean when some of the data items are negative numbers. Includes three real-world examples.

In this video tutorial students learn how to find the median of a data set. The mean is also calculated so that students can learn similarities and differences between these two measures of central tendency. Includes three real-world examples.

In this video tutorial students learn how to calculate the mode of a data set, as well as how the mode differs from the mean and median.Includes three real-world examples.

In this video tutorial students learn about the mean of a probability distribution. Includes a brief discussion of expected value, plus a brief tie-in to weighted means. Includes three real-world examples.

In this video tutorial students learn about sample mean from a random sampling of data. All examples involve normally distributed data with a known population mean and standard deviation. Includes three real-world examples.

In this video tutorial students learn about normally distributed data and how to identify the population mean from the normal distribution. Standard deviation is briefly introduced. Includes three real-world examples.

In this video tutorial students extend their understanding of mean by looking at examples of weighted means (sometimes referred to as weighted averages). Includes three real-world examples.
